~Enter the November Contest and You Could Win This Ring!~

Our November Contest is appropriate, I think, given the current financial situations of most of us: by replying to this post, let me know how, in light of the current economy, you will be doing your holiday shopping this year. Are you scaling back a lot? Using credit cards? Making gifts yourself? Purchasing more carefully? Setting Spending limits? How? By replying, you will be automatically entered to win Celtic Style Sterling Silver and Czech Glass Spiral Ring, shown above. One reply per person please. One name will be randomly drawn on December 1, and I will contact the winner, as well as posting the winner on the blog here on that day. The winner will have 2 weeks to contact me and give me their address so I can ship them their earrings. If they don't contact me in the two weeks, I will choose another, random name and they will have 2 weeks, etc. Good luck and keep checking back for exclusive discounts available only to people who read this blog!!Keep checking my Etsy store for more new items listed every day, and remember - I love to do custom orders :)Get responding!Meghann

I am shopping carefully, an won't be so frivilous this year, but intent to get everyone something special. there are many many beautiful gifts on Etsy, and I usually get carried away buying myself goods instead of gifts for others, this year I will have to be restrained .

Since I don't have a lot of money to spare, I am mostly likely going to buy from etsy only. I'd rather give hard-working artisans the money then some big corporation, which puts all the same things out on the shelves every year! (At least it seems that way to me!) But it will still probably be a credit cards Christmas. :(

What a beautiful ring! For holiday shopping this year, we're going to scale back and buy fewer but more thoughtful gifts for our immediate family members. Luckily we have a very small family so the budget is never really big and none of us are materialistic so don't ask for frivilous gifts.

Hubby and I also "adopt" a family every year through a community foundation that helps low income families, usually single mothers. We purchase gifts for them and in that case, we'll get what's on their list and won't skimp. And we'll also buy dog, puppy, cat and kitten food for the local animal shelter.
